What are you watching tonight?

I understand. As you can probably tell it's background noise not required viewing. I've long held the view that watching United in Europe is to some extent a no-loser - if they win, it's good for the English game (lately having an effect via coefficients on our UEFA Cup qualification chances), while if they lose, it's funny as f*ck. Partly for this reason, the 3-3s between these two sides a while back (when Rivaldo was in his pomp) are among the best games I've seen, especially as United didn't win either. (That said, I could watch Barcelona 4 United 0 on a loop - I even had a poster of the scoreboard on my wall at uni!)

Have to say though I start to lose my nerve when they get this close...

Tonight I have mostly been watching In The Soup - best film ever, unless you have an alternative.

Going to give "Walk the Line" a go tonight. Not read any bad reviews about it and I always liked Johhny Cash.

Off to eighteen-eighties Egypt tonight for the latest take on W.E.Mason's "The Four Feathers" at 9-0'clock on BBC 2. Seen quite a few versions over the years including the contra-titled "Storm over the Nile" so I'll see what the modern version's like.

Maybe Lt Zulu will be donning the red jacket and sallying forth into the desert?

He'd fit in with the movie (I assume you are watching the Heath Ledger version) although in fact the British troops were already wearing khaki by that time. This version is notable for the British losing the battle when the square was briefly broken, a battle that was actually won. I liked the 1939 Korda version the best although it was set in 1898 (Storm over the Nile used the same script and a lot of stock footage from the earlier version) not the campaign immediately following the fall of Khartoum. Have fun, Tango.

Turned out I'd already seen it Monty, but I watched it anyway. Typical, stiff-upper lip, Empire stuff and I too preferred the earlier versions.

Actually just watched 'Doomsday', a very errm interesting film to say the least. I can only destibe it as cross between Mad Max 2, 28 days later, Underworld (main character), Resident Evil 3 and King Author of Camelot (yes you heard me)

It's an ok film, with plenty of violence, but it was so very obvious it was made by nicking ideas from all the above films. It even had more our less the same music as 28 days later.

Still, very watchable.

After returning home from the pub after yet another forgettable England match, I flicked on the box. Having only 5 channels means I'm one of the few people who've ever watched channel 5.

It is showing a programme about Yanks and their cars. More precisely its about Yanks who are so obsessed with their cars they have never had a relationship with anyone but their cars, and pleasure themselves over them.

I'm sure it was intended to shock me. I'm now scared. Very scared.

These guys run the world, and they have people who literally (as opposed to figuratively) w*nk over their cars. They have nuclear weapons, the biggest army, the largest economy, the most influence in world politics, and people who w*nk over their cars.

We're fecked.

I watched this too.... it was f*cking hilarious.

They put two of these "mechaphiles" together and one of them ended up w*nking over the other one's car in the middle of the night.

Fortunately these freaks will die out after one generation.

Wife got me watching "Britain's got talent" last couple of nights

(not the audition stuff, but the selected few). Have to see it finish now because of a twelve year old girl with an utterly staggering voice. If I were the judges I'd want to see her birth certificate because she looks more like eighteen (In a natural and lovely way without all the fake tan and make-up). No wonder her dad was in tears when she won. This girl is amazing. Watch this space. Britain really does have talent.
